A few years back I had the privilege of advising the yearbook at my daughter’s school. E.J., in 10th grade then, was my yearbook editor.

Last summer, when I started my photography business, I asked E.J. if I could take his senior pictures. This spring E.J. booked another session with me. He wanted pictures in his football and baseball jerseys and pictures in his jacket with a complete set of patches.

E.J. has the distinction of being part of a very special graduating class. He is part of the very first graduating class at Life School Waxahachie/Red Oak.

I first met Kaitlyn and her sweet family over 11 years ago, when my husband and I first married. I am sure Kaitlyn doesn't remember us then, she was so young. We attended church with Kaitlyn and her family at Midlothian. Kaitlyn may have just started kindergarten at that time...but I remember a sweet little girl with her brothers bouncing around in the seat in front of us.

I have recently gotten to know Kaitlyn's family better since they started attending church with us in Duncanville.

Kaitlyn I know I told you this, but my daughter Abby wants a dress just like yours when she goes to prom. She even drew a picture of a girl and boy at prom. The girl has on a green dress the color of yours. I have her picture hanging on my refrigerator.
